Our instructors bring decades of field experience to every class, ensuring students learn practical skills they can immediately apply on the job. Our training facility in Appleton features state-of-the-art equipment and realistic training scenarios that simulate actual workplace conditions. We work with companies ranging from small contractors to major manufacturing facilities, providing both scheduled public classes and customized on-site training programs. Our approach emphasizes interactive learning and practical application, helping workers develop safety habits that stick long after training ends.

What to Expect

Getting started is simple – contact us to discuss your training needs and we'll recommend appropriate programs based on your industry and specific hazards. For individuals, you can register directly for our scheduled public classes held throughout the month.

Our classes combine classroom instruction with hands-on exercises and realistic scenarios. Upon completion, participants receive official certification cards and documentation to satisfy regulatory and insurance requirements. We maintain training records and provide renewal reminders to help you stay current with certification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long are OSHA certification cards valid?
OSHA 10 and 30-hour cards don't technically expire, but many employers require refresher training every 3 years. We recommend staying current with annual updates.
Can you provide training in languages other than English?
Yes, we offer bilingual instruction in Spanish for most programs. Other languages can be arranged with advance notice and may require additional fees.
What happens if someone fails the certification test?
We provide additional coaching and allow retesting at no charge. Our goal is to ensure everyone achieves competency, not just pass or fail students.
Do you offer refresher training for expired certifications?
Yes, we provide refresher programs that are shorter than initial certification but cover all current requirements. These are often more cost-effective than full recertification.
Can you train our internal trainers to deliver ongoing safety education?
Absolutely. We offer train-the-trainer programs that prepare your staff to deliver specific safety training using our materials and methods.
What equipment do you use for hands-on training?
We maintain current models of forklifts, aerial lifts, fall protection equipment, and confined space simulators. All equipment meets current safety standards and is regularly inspected.
How far in advance should we schedule group training?
Public classes can usually accommodate same-week registration. On-site group training typically requires 2-3 weeks advance notice to ensure instructor availability and material preparation.
Do you provide training records for compliance documentation?
Yes, we maintain detailed training records and provide certificates, wallet cards, and documentation needed for OSHA compliance and insurance requirements.
